The Chicago Teachers Union’s Secret Police
Long-time union activist George Schmidt reports on the salaries and perks of the Chicago Teachers Union’s executive officers, which – if the correspondence I’ve received over the years is any indication – automatically makes him anti-union and a teacher-basher.
More newsworthy is Schmidt’s description of CTU President Marilyn Stewart’s private security force. Stewart, according to Schmidt, “is also paying at least three Chicago police officers who roam the meetings in plain clothes, refusing to identify themselves, but are on call to ‘eject’ any union member who becomes too critical of the Stewart groups.”
Further details, and alternative viewpoints, are provided in Alexander Russo’s District 299 blog.
